Tea Party congressman clashes over Islam at town hall

Boynton Beach, Florida (CNN) -- Freshman Republican Congressman Allen West clashed with an advocate for Muslim-American civil rights at a sometimes-rowdy town hall meeting Monday night.

The tense exchange drew boos from a standing room only, largely Republican crowd.

The confrontation came as West, an Iraq War veteran who was backed by the Tea Party in last November's election, took questions from constituents. Nezar Hamze, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Miami, stepped to the microphone and accused West of making anti-Muslim comments in the past.

"Me and my children choose to follow the faith of Islam. You consistently insult it. How can we expect you to defend our right and practice Islam as far as the Constitution is concerned?" Hamze asked. snip

West's comments on Islam have stirred controversy in the past. He recently said Muslim Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minnesota, represents "the antithesis of the principles upon which this country was established."

1. One termer

These big wave elections produce a lot of one term congressmen.

In 1994 I remember Republicans like Enid Waldholtz, Jim Bunn, Andrea Seastrand, Michael Patrick Flanagin, David Funderburk, Steve Stockman, Dick Chrysler and Bill Martini.

All one term wonders.

2. He is drawing standing room only crowds at every town hall.

And they boo anyone who differs with him.

4. I would bet he busses the same crowd to the meetings

like the teabagger bus tour
someone should compare picture of people in the crowd to see if the same people show up

5. Could be.

He's a scary guy.

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has praised Members of Congress Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Chairwoman, House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Allen West (R-FL) for their criticizing of President Barack Obama’s approval of the flying of the PLO flag over the PLO Mission in Washington, D.C. The PLO Mission raised the PLO flag for the first time on January 18.
